Steps

Prepare Lamb

Combine olive oil, half of the minced garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Rub this mixture thoroughly over the lamb chops. Let them marinate at room temperature for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes.

Cook Lamb

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb chops for 3-4 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms and they reach your desired doneness (for medium-rare, an internal temperature of 57-60°C). Remove from the skillet, tent with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes.

Make Polenta

While the lamb rests, prepare the polenta. In a medium saucepan, bring the broth and milk to a boil. Add the remaining minced garlic. Slowly whisk in the polenta, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Reduce heat to low and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until thickened, stirring frequently.

Finish Polenta

Remove the polenta from the heat, stir in the butter and grated Parmesan cheese. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately with the rested lamb chops.

Extra Tips

► Let the lamb chops rest at room temperature for at least 15-20 minutes before cooking for more even cooking.

► For an extra creamy polenta, stir in a little extra cream or butter at the end of cooking.

► Don't overcook the lamb; medium-rare is the most delicious, aiming for an internal temperature of 57-60°C.
